THOMAS e. CATHCART.
Stirring Up Strife.

A disgraceful affair occurred at Wheeling,
West Virginia. last Friday, the closing day
of the annual reunion of the Society of the
Army of West Virginia A banner was sus-
pended across the street, bearing portrait
of President Cleveland, with the inscription,
"God bless President Cleveland, Commander
in-Cbief of our Army and Navy" Nearly
5000 Grand Army of the Republic men re-
fused to march under the banner, but instead,
with traied flags, made detour in the gut
ter. The same scene was enacted every time
bodies of these men marching up or down the
street to the various depots came to the spot.
At night Governor Foraker, Of Ohio, Gov.
ernor Beaver Of Pennsylvania, Governor
Wilson, of West Virginia, and other promi-
nent persons, were serenaded at hotel, and
speech, denouncing the South and the Demo-
cratic party as rebels and traitors. Governor
Wilson replied, saying that the country is
now grandly united, and the man who would
keep sectionalism alive is himself traitor.
Foraker again came forth and renewed his
vituperation Of Democrats, to which Gov.
Wilson made reply, in the course of which
lie said:
"You had better bear in mind, that the SOL
diers who went into the war were not all
Republicans. Hancock and scores of other
officers and thousands and tens of thousands
of the rank and file were good Democrats
and as good patriots as any here this even
ing did not come here to talk politics, but
/ am not going to see the record of the Demo-
cratic soldier swallowed up in the vortex of
partisan hatred, without lifting my voice in
protest. Whatever may have been a mans
actions 20 years ago, can it be for any good
to be continually telling him he was wrong
and that he must get down in the dust and
beg pardon on his kuees?"
The insult offered by these Grand Army of
the Republic men and condoned by Governor
Foraker was not to Mr.. Cleveland personally,
but to the President and through him TO the
people of the United States, whom he repre-
sents. 1t was a cowardly exhibition of par.
tisan malice which we do not believe meets
with the approval of patriotic members of
tie Grand Army of the Republic anywhere
in The country.
The banner incident and Forakers effort
to arouse the angry passions which stirred
the hearts of the people of the United States
quarter of a century ago are of little &C.
count, save as showing one of the issues
upon which the Republican party proposes
to fight the Presidential battle of 1888. The
war, happily, is over, and the States are now
indissolubly united under the same flag and
the same laws, and the man who would again
stir up sectional strife is indeed traitor to
the country.

LETTER FROM SHANE.


The rain on the 22d of August was the heaviest
we have known for number of years. The old
est inhabitants say that Deer Creek has not been
as high at Big Marsh Bridge for 20 years. The
water was about nine feet above the usual point,
and reached from one hill to the other, distance
of 70 yards. 1t swept away all the fences on the
small branches and washed the roads fearfully.
About one and a-half acres of corn belonging TO
Mr. Nelson Mcdonald were destroyed by the flood
and about one hundred panels of fence Mr..
Ephraim McClung lost about 500 rails Mr..
George Wiley's mill-race was filed with sand and
his mill dam was washed away. The water was
two feet one inch deep on the mill floor. Four
of Mr. Wiley's hogs were drowned. Mr.. George
Norris and Mr.. John Anderson also lost great
many rails, and several cords of wood were
washed away from Mr.. Andersons farm Mr..
Joseph Howe also lost a number of rails and a
part of his garden fence.
We have great deal Of sickness in this Sec
ton. Among the rest of the sick is Mr.. Emerson
Meredith, who is quite i'll with bilious dysentery.
They are all attended by DR.. Payne and DR..
Cairnes.

A Reform Democrat Who Refuses to De-
sert His Party,


Mr. James U. Denpis, who presided at the
Reform Democratic Convention in Balti-
more. last winter, and has always been earn
est and sincere in his efforts to secure purity
in party politics, declines to follow Mr. John
X. Cowen into the Republican party. In an
interview with representative of the Balti-
more Sun Mr.. Dennis said he had no re-
gre's to express or apologies to make for his
connection with the reform movement. That
movement, he said, had not been without good
results, as is shown by the indictment, trial
and conviction of vioators of the election
laws.
In regard to the support of the Republican
ticket by reform Democrats, promised by MIR.
Cowen, and Mr.. Governs remark that the in
dependents mean TO give the Republicans
vigor and enthusiasm with which to wipe
out the Cleveland majority of 5000, Mr.. Den.

Our Public Schools.

Tho report of tue Public School Commits
sioners of Hartford county, which is now
nearly ready for publication, shows that our
schools are In excellent condition, as COM
pared with former years. There are los
school houses. and 1873 teachers. OF the lat
ter, 90 are white male teachers aud So white
female teachers. The colored teachers are
males aud Is femalcs-the colored schools of
the county, without exception, being in charge
of colored teachers.
The schools were open four full terms, the
total number of pupils enrolled being 5000,
of whom 2,774 were white males; 2,137 white
females 562 colored males and 1877 colored
females The average number OF pupils in
attendance was $685. larger per centage
than last year, the enrolment being about
the same.
The schools are now all supplied with
teachers, and both teachers and scholars, it
is to be hoped, are ready 10 begin work next
Monday.
The importance of entering children the
first days of the term and sending them to
school regularly thereafter can not be too
strongly urged upon parents. The classes
are arranged at the beginning of the fall term
and children who enter then can more easily
keep up with their school-mates and be the
sooner prepared to enter higher grade.
The public schools of Hartford, we believe,
compare favorably with those of any county
in the State, and although the enrolment
and average attendance are both good, there
are, doubtless many children whose parents
do not avail themselves of the opportunity
of having them educated, or who, if they
send them to school, permit them to attend
irregularly and thereby they lose much of
the advantages which our public schools af-
ford. The cost TO the taxpayers of Hartford
of maintaining the schools is the same
whether few or many children attend, and
therefore all who are interested in public
education should make an effoIt to secure the
attendance of all children of the requisite
school age.
